Diocesan Council of Catholic Women
South Bay Deanery of Catholic Women
St. Charles Deanery Ladies
The Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) was started many years ago and encompasses the entire Diocese. The women’s deaneries are Oceanside, El Cajon, and South Bay. Every October, the annual DCCW Convention is held. Generally, each Deanery makes a donation to the Bishop’s Vocation Fund for Priestly Formation to the DCCW then, at the convention it is given to the Bishop. In the past, we have funded the Rosary tapes and CD’s with Bishop Brom. More recently, the money has purchased new appliances for the Seminarians’ kitchen here in San Diego.
Over the years, more than $600,000 has been donated by the DCCW. Seminarian Cost Annually for each one: $45,000.

Mission of the South Bay Deanery is: 1) to assist various organizations of the Deanery in their efforts to be of service in their respective parishes, 2) promote Vocation Awareness, 3) to further spiritual and material undertakings which may be recommended by the Most Reverend Bishop.
